How to choose a grout for beige tiles?

The beige color is universal, and the kitchen or bathroom tiled in this color is not only soft and beautiful, but also practical. In order not to overdo it with the color scheme, the grout must be selected, taking into account some factors, such as: the color and style of furniture, interior items and life. The composition of the grout is chosen, taking into account the conditions in which the tile will be.

Classification of trowelled mixtures by composition:

• Cement based. These compositions are distinguished by simplicity in work and rich colors. Currently they are the most popular. Cement trowels can be sold as ready-made trowels or as powders that are pre-diluted with water. This grout is suitable for dry rooms in which no fungus is formed.
• Based on epoxy resin. These are more durable blends that withstand any negative effects. Rubbing their surface is a little more difficult than cement. This may require additional skill. Epoxy based grout is recommended to be applied in places with high humidity.

The integrity of perception of the interior of the room directly depends on the correct color of the grout. With the help of a trowel mixture, you can create certain visual effects. To do this, select the appropriate shade of grout.

The simplest option is the selection of beige grout in tone to the tile. In this case, the entire surface of the wall with the finish merges into one beige stain. Of course, such a combination may seem rather boring and lagging behind the current fashion trends in design. If you are afraid to miss with a touch of grout, use it. The interior in this case will have to beat as if you used a monotonous beige panel.

Choosing a trowel mixture of color slightly darker than the tile itself, you can stay on a dark beige or light brown shade. Such a combination will visibly refresh the room, fill it with comfort and tranquility.

For beige tiles, experts recommend choosing a grout a few shades darker. This combination will emphasize the nobility of the finish, and the wall panel will look very original. Features of human perception of a combination of light and dark tones visually pushed the beige tile forward, but moved the seams back. Thus, the clutch will look more voluminous.

The most popular in tandem with beige tiles are grout chocolate or brown tones. In this case, the visual perception of lines and seams becomes clearer. The correct outlines create a feeling of comfort and order in the room.

If you find it difficult to decide on the choice of shade, pay attention to the white grout. This is a versatile option that goes well with tiles of various colors and shades.As a rule, a combination of beige tile and white grout is most often used for walls, as this combination is too branded for the floor. It should be noted that the walls with white seams should always be perfectly clean.

If the beige tile is not completely monotonous (there is a picture on it) or its part is supplemented with decor, then you can wipe the space between the individual elements in the color of the decor. Moreover, this combination will be the most harmonious, since the invasion of third scales and shades can create the impression of a lack of style. If there is a desire to create an eclectic-style interior, it is better to seek the help of professionals in order to avoid a frivolous effect.

Using both light and dark grout at the same time allows you to create separate segments, as well as highlight the necessary zones of various shapes and sizes.

To make the interior mysterious, you can use a grout with small luminous particles.This mixture is a novelty in the construction market, so its use is a bit unusual. With such material in the dark, tile joints glow blue and purple. It looks very original and festive.

If you can not pick up the grout on the color of all the options proposed by the manufacturer, it is possible to create a suitable shade for the beige tile yourself.

For this purpose, commonly used:

• tinting paste;
• powder Kohler, soluble in water;
• gouache paints;
• watercolor.

With these compositions, you can tint the white grout or adjust the shade, for example, to make it more saturated. When adding pigment, it is necessary to remember that when drying the mixture will become lighter.
